Chapter 35: The Secret Room of the Temple of Sacrifice

"Song Xiaoshuang, can you feel the energy inside these two black mineral crystals? Will there be radiation, this time we left in a hurry, we didn't bring a Geiger counter, I don't know if we will get radiation sickness if we have been with us for a long time? ”

Isabel saw that as soon as Song Xiaoshuang finished speaking, she picked up a black energy crystal and put it in the palm of her hand to look at it carefully, glared at him fiercely, and said in Chinese in a somewhat urgent tone to remind Song Xiaoshuang, this thing looks quite frightening, as if it is generated with uranium ore veins, it is inevitable that there will be a certain amount of radiation, which may be dangerous to the human body.

Hearing Isabel's worried look, and after glancing at Eliham, who was sitting next to him with the same scarf covering his face, Fahad snapped his fingers, and the wooden door of the adobe house was pushed open, and it was Emima with a slightly fat figure and a beautiful face, the only surgeon in the tribe and Farhad's wife.

Farhad originally wanted the tribal warriors outside to prepare some food, but it was already late at night after dealing with all kinds of tribal chores, and after really calming down the tribal villagers, several people had not eaten yet, but they were surprised to see that it was not the tribal warriors who pushed open the wooden door, but Emima walked in carrying a woven basket more than a foot in size.

A tribal soldier who was on duty near the adobe house to prevent others from entering, standing at the door with an AK47 assault rifle on his back, looked into the room, and said in Tuareg with some hesitation: "Two leaders, the doctor insists on coming, we can't stop it, you see this"

Eliham gestured twice to signal that the tribal warrior himself and Farhad would not mind, and the tribal warrior pulled the wooden door and stepped away.

Song Xiaoshuang's attention was not on Emima, as soon as Emimai appeared from the corner of the adobe wall dozens of meters away with a basket woven with annual branches of Tamarix, Song Xiaoshuang, who was exuding spiritual power, noticed that with her prestige as a physician in the tribe, the tribal warriors guarding the vicinity of the adobe house would not stop her at all, and whether it was Farhad's wife was insignificant.

Song Xiaoshuang is only very interested in eating now, Amy Mai Tamar can be filled with delicious food in the basket, during the day it is a fierce battle, and it is a blood transfusion to Mai Jid, and he was also made a prayer ritual by Fahadra Zhuangding to appease the undead, so that the mental power consumption can be great, and he urgently needs to replenish his physical energy, if it weren't for Farhad saying that there is something important to discuss, Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel might have gone to the tribal villagers' houses to eat and drink, and now the two of them are famous in the tribe and it is easy to get some food.

Emimai made a gesture to put the basket on the broken wooden table, but Fahad hurriedly stuffed another piece of energy crystal on the table into Song Xiao's hands, put away the spread desert terrain map and put it in the pocket of his robe, and did not speak but signaled with his eyes that Emimai could put the basket.

"It's this weird energy crystal again, Farhad, although this thing doesn't radiate, but ordinary people can't control the energy in it at all, only wizards with great abilities can, it seems that you and Eliham are preparing a lot of things, I hope it won't bring disaster to the tribe again!" But I don't care about anything else, knowing that you haven't eaten, McJid is still asking my uncle and aunt if they have eaten before going to bed, so I prepared food and brought it home! ”

Emima spoke pure Arabic, put the basket on the wooden table and turned around and walked away to do things very boldly, Isabel only heard the wooden door open and closed again after the ugly "squeak" sound, then came back to her senses and whispered a few words in Chinese, telling Emimai why to Song Xiaoshuang.

"Well, with the date fruit of the pancake, roast lamb, and a pot of wine, yes, this wine should be fermented from the date fruit, Isabel, and your French wine are completely two flavors!"

While talking, Song Xiaoshuang opened the lid of the basket, first took out a folded Arabic-style thin velvet blanket and spread it out on the table, and then took out from the basket the overlapping pancakes, a large piece of at least ten catties of roasted fragrant and greasy lamb shank, as well as a clay pot containing wine and a few ceramic wine glasses, all of which were placed on the wooden table with a thread carpet, and finally took out a ceramic bottle the size of a small wine glass from the basket and plugged the bottle mouth with a cork. The basket was turned around and hung on a small wooden stake on the wall.

Needless to say, in the ceramic bottle, it is a mixture of salty spices added when eating mutton according to personal taste, although the large piece of barbecue has been brushed with spices and necessary salt, and the spices in a ceramic bottle have one more way to eat.

Isabel is not the kind of person who pretends to be a person, there is more time to wash her hands and eat without water during the field research activities, and Amy Mai said that the energy crystal has no nuclear radiation, Song Xiaoshuang paid attention to taking the food out of the basket with his other hand that had not touched the energy crystal.

As soon as she thought of this, Isabel grabbed a piece of pancake and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing the pancake in her mouth, which made Isabel feel that it was indeed worse than Uncle Issam's pancake with secret spices, but the taste was also excellent, and the tribal leader of Farhad was a little blessed!

Seeing Isabel picking up the pancake and nibbling it at a super fast speed, the other three people at the table were of course not polite, picking up the pancake and stuffing it into their mouths, Song Xiaoshuang ate the most joyful, and his cheeks bulged so much that he almost laughed at Isabel who ate pancakes.

After returning from the funeral, everyone washed their hands and faces with water handles, and the ashes from the burning and the dust raised by the sand made everyone feel unpleasant. At this time, seeing that the food is in front of him, who can afford to go out and wash his hands seriously, but there is a skin bag with water hanging on the wall of the room, which is used to drink.

"This Emimai is good for everything, why is there no knife prepared to cut mutton? Elliham, you should have a folding knife in your backpack, right? Take it out and use it. ”

Farhad fiddled with the veil that covered his face, revealing half of his bearded face, stuffing the pancakes into his mouth, and at the same time spitting out clear words in Chinese and ordering Eliham to take out the knife, otherwise a whole piece of roast lamb would be very fragmented by hand.

The people at the table are brothers and sisters who have lived and died together, and if it is his own person, Farhad is much more relaxed, and it is best not to cover his face with a veil when eating, he is not a rigid person.

"No need to fold the knife, Song Xiaoshuang will do it, I think Emimai didn't bring a knife, it must have been Mai Jid who told her the little secret that Song Xiaoshuang didn't use a knife to handle barbecue!"

Isabel picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of dark red fruit wine into a wine glass, and after a sip, a sincere smile appeared on her face, and the elbow holding the wine glass was propped on the wooden table, and Song Xiaoshuang's secret was shaken out in Chinese.

"Wizard skills? How to do it? ”

Ellie Ham, who has been covering her face with a veil for the first time, lifted the veil in front of Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel for the first time, and asked in Chinese with a strange tone with some doubts.

Although her face was very ordinary, it was much worse than that of the chubby Amy Mae, but that kind of wise heroism could not be forgotten by anyone who saw it.

"Well, I saw a photo, when Song Xiaoshuang was packing the magazine upside down, I suspected it was you at first, but now it looks like it's indeed the same person."

Isabel looked at Eliham with an embarrassed expression and said, although now that the battle of the tribe is over, the backpack with the magazine has long since returned to Eliham, and her personal belongings are hanging on the wall stakes again, Isabel feels the need to apologize for the incident.

Isabel could imagine Eliham's face when she returned to see the picture float to the ground.

"It's okay, anyway, I'll explain some of the situation, and it has something to do with tricking you into the Desert Oasis tribe, in fact, it's me and Fahad who should apologize, fill your stomach first and then talk about it in detail."

Eliham poured a glass of wine with a somewhat lonely expression, and after drinking it without taking a sip, she wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, looked at Isabel and Song Xiaoshuang who were staring at her, and forced a smile or said a few words in Chinese.

There is no way, among the four people seated, Song Xiaoshuang does not understand any foreign language, but Eliham and Farhad feel that this Chinese is very important to the long-discussed overall plan, and for the convenience of communication, speaking Chinese is a normal thing.

Here, this table of food is very expensive, it won't be similar to Isabel, let me participate in something very difficult, right? Don't worry about it for now, eat and drink enough to recover your body's energy, freshly roasted lamb is much better than lizard meat in the desert.

Hearing Eliham speak barely able to understand Chinese, Song Xiaoshuang secretly slandered in his heart, Eliham meant something, and soon something found him, Song Xiaoshuang felt that it was better to eat first and then speak.

Song Xiaoshuang stretched out a hand and gestured a few times at the roast mutton on the table, then said disapprerovitically with a weird smile on his face: "Okay, it's done, the leg of lamb has been cut into small pieces, although Mai Jide has already said it, but I still hope that you can not spread it, this is a secret technique that can save your life at a critical moment!" ”

Isabel had already finished eating a small pancake, and when she saw Farhad and Eliham sitting opposite, she hadn't recovered from Song Xiaoshuang's funny, and knew that it was hard for the two of them to believe that Song Xiaoshuang cut the roast leg of lamb into small pieces after a few strokes out of thin air, because the leg of lamb looked no different from just now.

Isabel stood up, grabbed the roast leg of mutton, shook it, and the leg of mutton instantly scattered into dozens of pieces of mutton, spread on the velvet blanket, the incision was flat, and even the bones were cut together!

Isabel casually picked up a piece of roast lamb without bones, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it for a while, and then ate it into her stomach, feeling that the taste of mutton was a little light, she quickly took a few pieces of mutton and put it on the velvet blanket in front of her, picked up the spice bottle and uncorked it, and a burnt smell with salt and spicy flavor came out of the bottle.

Isabel had already estimated that it was filled with fried chili powder, regardless of Fahad and Eliham, who were still staring at the scattered pieces of mutton in a daze, poured dark red chili powder on several pieces of mutton, feeling that it was almost inseparable, and handed the spice bottle to Song Xiaoshuang on the side, picked up a piece of mutton stained with chili powder and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Oh, what the hell is this, it's so spicy!"

Song Xiaoshuang saw that Farhad and Eliham had come to their senses, and they all leaned over and carried the roast mutton pieces into their mouths to enjoy the deliciousness, knowing that what he had just said had an effect, but when he noticed that Isabel had eaten the lamb sprinkled with chili powder, her cheeks were red, and she hurriedly poured a glass of fruit wine and drank it dry, and let out a long mouthful of spicy breath, shouting that the spicy degree of the chili pepper was beyond her expectations.

Song Xiaoshuang almost crushed the spice bottle in his hand, secretly thinking that it was fortunately tested by Isabel first, this female man is very spicy, and she is also a delicious mouth, in terms of tolerance for chili peppers, Song Xiaoshuang knows that it is far inferior to Isabel, and it is better to put less chili powder as much as possible.

"I'm sorry, this must be an improved desert pepper planted by Mai Jide in the experimental field of the secret room of the sacrificial temple, this kind of thing seems to have been planted by the old wizard and grandma before, and it will make people feel particularly spicy when they start to eat it, but it will not hurt the stomach, but it can relieve people's fatigue and make people feel in a hot spring in winter, eating it will soon cause fever and sweat, it is a very precious thing, and there are more than a dozen pepper trees in the experimental field, which must be re-cultivated every year and will wither after the fruiting period, and the environment that leaves there will not be able to support at all!"

Farhad drank half a glass of fruit wine and put down the cup, said the origin of this chili pepper in Chinese, Isabel and Song Xiaoshuang, who were about to shake off the chili powder on the lamb, looked stunned, this desert oasis tribe has a lot of secrets, and there is a test field for planting chili peppers inside the sacrificial temple? How to solve the problem of lighting and water source?

Song Xiaoshuang and Isabel glanced at each other, if it was possible to go to the sacrificial temple as soon as possible to see what was going on, one of them was an exclusive data analyst and the other was an anthropologist, both of whom had a great thirst for the unknown, and they would not turn a blind eye when they encountered such a bizarre thing.
